You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“I thank Andre and Ms. Pat for their patience and compassion during the passing of our loved one. This is a business and much be ran as such. When they provide a service they are open and honest about the process. For some, that’s not always well received but it was respected. They’ve been in business a very long time and they know what they are doing. Thank you again. I appreciate you both. Chanel and Jackson family”
